Question on the Etymology of Nehushtan

He removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan. 2 Kings 18:4

Question: Is NEHUSHTAN in 2 Kings 18:4 above derived from two root words NAKHASH and SATAN?

Interesting theory. In 2 Kings 18:4 it says that the children of Israel were calling the נחש הנחשת (nachash haNechoshet) or bronze serpent נחשתן (nechustan). I would posit that this name change may have come about from first starting to call it נחשת-תן (nechoshet-tan) תן (tan) being another word for serpent, thus still "bronze serpent" but with a different word for serpent. Over time, נחשת-תן (nechoshet-tan) contracted to נחשתן (nechushtan).

However, since they were worshipping it (burning incense = worship), certainly HaSatan (השטן) Satan was involved but given the fact that HaSatan (השטן) has tav instead of tet for the T sound, and, more importantly, that it has sin for the S sound and not Shin, it probably is not related to נחשתן (nechustan).
